Lukewarm Faith

Lately my faith has dulled. It's like any relationship - sometimes the passion isn't there. But I know it will be if I work at it. Like married couples don't get their passion back from sitting around waiting for a spark but by faithfully pursuing each other. I guess it's probably the same with God. I was so on fire and now I'm merely lukewarm. For the last couple weeks I've done almost nothing to spur my own excitement for The Lord and his work. I know that has to change. When I'm far from him, it's incredibly evident in my life. I'm less patient, more moody, less joyful (duh), and way more self conscious. I guess this goes to show he is leading me even when I don't feel it- because I see how lost I am when I fall away. 

Anyway, today I'm choosing a new path. One that leads back to his arms. I know He's never left me even though I walk away. I hope you will all pray for me in my struggle to feel the spark of His love.
